In her twenties, Kim Perell was broke and jobless after being fired from a tech startup that had burned through its funding. With no savings to fall back on, she borrowed $10,000 from her 82-year-old grandmother to start an internet advertising company from her kitchen table. She scaled that business to $100 million in annual revenue, sold it for tens of millions, and has since invested in more than 150 startups. In this episode, Kim shares the execution framework that sets successful entrepreneurs apart and reveals how to turn entrepreneurship mistakes into fuel for growth.
